WINE DESCRIPTION

Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru 'Côte de Lechet' is a premium white wine produced by Bernard Defaix, a renowned winemaker in the Chablis appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Côte de Lechet vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and limestone-rich soil. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on lees to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is a classic Chablis with a bright, pale gold color, aromas of citrus and white flowers, and a crisp, mineral-driven palate with a long, refreshing finish. This is a great expression of Chablis and an excellent choice for a special occasion.
